In
all
of
my
years
of
living
in
Las
Vegas
I
have
never
experienced
such
blatant
bias
and
racial
discrimination
at
any
hospital
in
the
valley
like
this
one.
We
weren’t
aware
that
we
were
being
transferred
by
ambulance
to
Nellis
Hospital
on
base
to
get
emergency
surgery
we
couldn’t
get
anywhere
else.
The
ER
team
was
amazing
and
treated
us
like
human
beings
that
they
genuinely
cared
for
but
this
became
an
entirely
different
world
once
we
were
moved
upstairs.
Not
expecting
to
randomly
be
transferred
on
base
for
an
invasive
surgery
I
didn’t
think
to
clean
out
my
bag
and
upon
inspection
found
an
empty
wax
pen
and
battery
as
well
as
a
mini
bottle
of
chardonnay
as
we
were
not
expecting
to
go
to
the
ER.
Obviously
these
items
are
not
allowed
on
the
property
which
we
totally
understand
so
we
immediately
give
them
the
items
to
be
disposed
of
so
I
can
continue
the
treatment
of
my
sepsis
and
have
my
mouth
surgery.
They
also
do
bag
checks
where
they
write
down
every
single
belonging
you
have
when
you
enter
and
leave
(because
of
employees
stealing
in
the
past)
as
well
as
documenting
every
mark/open
wound/tattoo
on
your
naked
body.
So
these
people
are
well
aware
of
any
and
everything
you
have
on
your
person
or
in
your
possession..
An
hour
after
we
call
a
Caucasian
male
nurse
to
inquire
about
dietary
restrictions
and
medicine.
Knowing
that
we
have
no
contraband
because
he
himself
took
it
away
1
hour
prior
and
while
fully
knowing
two
nurses
searched
and
documented
our
things
extensively
prior
he
then
proceeds
to
say
to
my
husband
&
I
“You
guys
have
been
going
to
the
bathroom
a
lot
and
when
people
do
that
they’re
doing
drugs
so
in
this
case
what
are
you
hiding
in
there
&
why
are
you
going
to
the
bathroom
so
much.”
My
husband
went
a
total
of
three
times
in
an
hour
and
a
half
because
he
had
just
eaten
Taco
Bell
and
is
severely
lactose
intolerant
with
Ibs
and
nervous
about
his
wife
getting
invasive
surgery
&
I
am
in
such
excruciating
pain
I
haven’t
even
been
able
to
walk
to
the
bathroom
because
I
couldn’t
move
due
to
the
pain
of
having
sepsis
so
upon
hearing
this
allegation
and
after
showing
the
Taco
Bell
bag
and
proving
we
got
rid
of
everything
as
soon
as
we
found
out
we
couldn’t
have
it
we
were
met
with
the
rudest
exchange
of
accusatory
language
I’ve
seen
come
out
of
a
health
care
providers
mouth.
I
break
into
tears
because
I’m
utterly
shocked
at
how
this
person
who
removed
the
wax
pen
themselves
and
knows
we
had
been
searched
prior
double
down
on
this
outrageous
story
that
had
0
evidence.
I
had
a
horrible
case
of
sepsis
and
the
last
thing
I
want
is
to
not
get
surgery
and
die
because
of
a
biased
employees
personal
vendetta
against
a
stranger
he
knows
nothing
about
just
because
of
how
they
looked.
When
I
mentioned
this
while
crying
the
employee
brushed
it
off
on
me
being
sick
not
the
fact
that
he
just
falsely
accused
us
of
something
that
can
easily
be
resolved
by
security
searching
without
being
discriminatory
and
allowing
them
to
do
their
job
if
there
was
that
much
concern.
We
were
expecting
to
receive
a
health
care
provider
from
a
hospital
that
promotes
equality
&
kindness
&
treating
all
patients
with
the
same
respect
regardless
of
what
they
look
like
or
what
legal
cannabis
products
they
use
(on
off
base
properties
as
a
civilian)
After
this
exchange
I
was
left
feeling
targeted,
de-humanized,
and
that
quality
health
care
for
all
patients
regardless
of
what
they
look
like
is
not
a
priority
for
the
Nellis
Hospital
at
this
time
&
I’m
deeply
disturbed
by
what
I
experienced
for
absolutely
no
reason
and
the
targeted
embarrassment
that
was
directed
towards
my
husband
solely
because
of
his
skin
&
how
many
times
he
went
to
the
bathroom
to
poop
in
those
two
hours.
The
panic
attack
it
caused
me
to
have
because
he
decided
to
harass
us
with
0
evidence
while
we
are
in
a
traumatic
situation
already
instead
of
being
a
quality
unbiased
health
care
provider
goes
to
show
the
social
climate
of
this
hospital.
People
of
color
beware
and
stay
clear
of
this
place
if
you
want
to
be
treated
like
a
normal
human
being
and
receive
quality
health
care.
